Hydrate before you arrive
Desert air is dry and quad exertion increases fluid loss — drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle for the camp.
Wear closed-toe shoes and goggles
Sandy, gritty conditions make trail shoes and eye protection important for comfort and control on the quad.
Book sunset departures
Late-afternoon starts keep temperatures lower and deliver the best light for photos and cooler riding conditions.
Follow the guide’s line on dunes
Dune riding can be unpredictable; maintain spacing and speed limits the guide sets to avoid rollovers and soft-sand traps.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide grip and protect feet from hot sand and the quad’s footrests.
